How could I increase link popularity without the reciprocial linking (can't use that because there just ain't a page for that)?
I have seen several such onepage domains but they usually use affiliate systems which probably generate linkpop for them.
One reason might be to give that page as good content as you possibly can.
Does anyone have some other reasons in mind?
I mean, writing a good sales copy might turn that page into not-so-good content page but rather benefit-listing+calling-to-action page.
How to balance copy & content so it looks/remains useful for other websites & dmoz editors (for example) in the goal of gaining link-popularity? There's no use of link pop & traffic if the text doesn't sell. On the other way - websites might not link to you if the content is just sales copy.
IMO, I don't think adding content to my one page sales pitch adds value to my situation. Keep in mind that my thinking of "content" is something that is of interest and valuable in and of itself. For example, WebmasterWorld is chock full of "content" (and some of the absolute best at that).
Again, IMO, if what I am pitching is that great and wonderful, and if my pitch is that good, which means my site is highly converted (meaning the visitors are buying) BECAUSE product/service AND pitch are all that good. Given all this, people will link, period. (I don't mean all you jaded SEO people :))
It is called "word of mouth" in the regular world. Here I think a lot of people call it "people who aren't aware of the value of links so they give it away".
A byproduct of all this is that, if you were to want to play in the affiliate areana, you would already be focused on what would be important to potential affiliates, which is, making your site as compelling as possible in order to convert that "visitor" into a "customer".
So, my advise to you (and to myself) is:
1. Leave the content to the people that are selling (or giving away) content.
2. Focus on making your one page as compelling as possible.
3. Make sure whatever that one page is pitching is really all that (some will say this is unneccessary if #2 is done properly but I'm going for that repeat word of mouth sale).
Disclaimer: 'Course what do I know, I'm a probably more of a newb than you. :)
Consider Inktomi (and similar) pay-for-inclusion, paid directory inclusions, PPC campaigns, etc.
If you have more than one domain, of course you can link to your own one-page-wonder, but something else to consider is that some webmasters might be willing to link to your domain "A" if you link back to them from your domain "B".
